Chuck and Jimmie-Lynn have worked in ministry since the early 1990's.
Chuck was on staff as the youth pastor at Trinity Presbyterian Church
in Asheville, NC for over 10 years. During that time, Jimmie-Lynn began
discipling younger women within the youth group. In 2002, we moved our
family to Australia with Mission to the World (MTW) and served as
missionaries there for 17 years. We're now back home in the beautiful
mountains of Western North Carolina. Our five children are spread out
between America and Australia, much like their identities.
We
are convinced that "living" the gospel is the only hope for the
transformation of people and culture.During our time on the mission
field in Australia, we began planting churches, and God threw us into
the deep end of mercy ministry. It pleased the Lord for churchfreo to
meet 500 yards from the largest homeless population in the city of
Fremantle, Western Australia. when asked, "Have you always had a heart
for the homeless?" The answer is always, "No. It's just what God has
done."
Chuck is committed to mercy ministry based
church-planting, both locally and globally,among marginal members of
society. Jimmie-Lynn serves with THRIVE, an organization that ministers
to global women serving overseas.THRIVE retreats provide Jimmie-Lynn
with the opportunity to come alongside women on the mission field and
show them they are known, cared for and loved. She is committed to
attend three international retreats per year. Go to www.thriveministry.org for more information.
Our
ministry lives have been marked by evangelism and outreach, mercy
ministry and culturally - focused discipleship. More so, our
ministry lives have been marked by grace - for us and in what the Lord
has done.
